What is the method for saving data in hibernate?

Hibernate offers several methods for saving data, with the two most commonly used methods being:

1. To save data using the session.save() method: This method will save the given object to the database. For example, to save an object named employee of an entity class, you can use the following code.
2. An employee named John, aged 30, is created and saved in the database using a session.
3. In the above code, session.save(employee) saves the employee object to the database. After calling session.getTransaction().commit(), the transaction will be committed, making the save operation effective.
4. To save data using the session.persist() method, you do not need to manually call session.getTransaction().commit() to commit the transaction after calling session.persist(). For example:
5. An employee named John, aged 30, is created and stored into a session using a sessionFactory in a single transaction before closing the session.
6. In the above code snippet, calling session.persist(employee) will save the employee object to the database and automatically commit the transaction.

In addition to the two methods mentioned above, Hibernate also offers other ways to save data, such as session.saveOrUpdate() and session.merge(). These methods can be chosen based on specific needs.
